The panel that awarded Pulitzer Prizes to the New York Times and Washington Post for reporting related to the discredited Trump-Russia collusion narrative has gone mum as it faces new scrutiny following publication of a four-part series in the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) documenting the establishment media pillars' lapses from their claimed journalistic standards.
The 19-member Pulitzer Prize board for 2017-2018 was comprised of various journalists, professors and writers, including several current or former staff members of the New York Times or Washington Post.
Just The News reached out to 13 members of the panel to find out if the CJR exposé had prompted second thoughts about the Russiagate prizes. Neil Brown, president of the Poynter Institute had an auto reply set, saying he was out of the office, while Steve Coll, former dean of Columbia Journalism School, had an auto-reply saying he is on sabbatical. None of the other board members replied.
In response to a request for comment on the CJR series, Pulitzer Prize Administrator Majorie Miller wrote, "Due to pending litigation regarding these matters, I am not able to comment on the story."
After the Pulitzer board initially stood by its Russigate awards, former President Donald Trump — the central target of the narrative, which grew out of opposition research commissioned by his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton — filed a defamation lawsuit against them in December, following a request to reconsider the prizes.

Fake panel awarding fake prizes to their lying libtard buddies in the fake news
Make them rescind the Pulitzers or face discovery in court.
P
The Pulitzer committee has squandered their credibility.
Needs to be renamed to the Goebbels Award for MSM Propaganda.
Gee. /s
Another case of the destruction the follows these wokesters. Even the Pulitzer has lost credibility. It’s been in the works, but this revelation was a nail in the coffin.
Let’s work backwards
What American institutions (both government and civil) do people still trust?
Pretty much sums it up.
“We’re leftists. We don’t need no stinkin’ credibility.”
Whenever I see the name Pulitzer in reference to their “prize” I think of the old “pull my finger” joke.
Both are on the same juvenile level.
Didn’t Bammy get the Nobel prize just for getting elected?
I got nothin’! 🤔
What a surprise. See Tagline.
It’s time for some of those prizes to be returned...
This is “the dog that didn’t bark”. Their silence proves their complicity.
bttt
Same bastards who gave the NYTimes a Pulitzer for saying Stalin’s Russia was a workers paradise😂💩
I bet those 19 members are still proud of themselves, and celebrated, at all the cocktail parties they go to.
